Okay, if you feel like getting your geek on. The X11 for 10.2.8 was called beta 3 by Apple, make sure you update to 10.2.8. It was based on XFree86 4.2.1. Click here ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.2.1/ A Finder window will eventually open. Go to binaries and drag FreeBSD to the desktop, it will copy.

Well, after spending HOURS last night following the instructions to the letter, and again this morning, I'm still getting the same error: "You need to download the 'extract' (or 'extract.exe') utility and put it in this directory." It's already in that directory, but after several attempts to make it work, I decided to put it in the Utility directory along with Terminal-but it still didn't help.

I guess I'll just have to learn to live with TextEdit and whatever little other "office-like" programs I can find on the "freebie" Mac software sites.

Thanks anyway

(Thankfully 10.3 is on it's way )

I woulda thought so, but not being that familiar with Mac, I wasn't sure. Anyway, I put BOTH of them in the Utility directory with Terminal (just to cover all bases-after all, it said to download "the 'extract' (or 'extract.exe') utility") but it didn't do any good.

I got that too, I'll look into it in the next day or so, busy today and tomorrow.
